Steps:
- To make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, add the onions, celery, garlic, basil and bouquet garni, and cook over low heat for 5 minutes or until softened but not browned.
- Mix in the tomato paste and tomatoes, salt, pepper, and sugar, and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
- Put the mussels in a casserole dish with the wine, over high heat, and bring to a boil. Cook for a few minutes only, until the mussels have opened, stirring frequently to ensure they are evenly cooked.
- Pour off the cooking liquid, discard any mussels that have not opened, and return the opened mussels, in their shells, to the casserole dish.
- Pour the hot tomato sauce over the mussels and heat through. Sprinkle with chopped basil and serve at once.
Tips:
- Select Fresh Mussels: Choose mussels that are tightly closed and have a shiny, dark blue or black shell. Avoid any mussels with cracked or broken shells.
- Clean Mussels Properly: Scrub the mussels thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Use a stiff brush to remove any barnacles or other debris from the shells.
- Discard Bad Mussels: Tap each mussel on a hard surface. Any mussels that remain open after tapping should be discarded.
- Use a Large Pot: Mussels tend to expand during cooking, so use a large pot or Dutch oven to prevent overcrowding.
- Don't Overcook Mussels: Mussels cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked mussels become tough and rubbery.
- Serve Mussels Immediately: Mussels are best enjoyed immediately after cooking. Serve them with crusty bread or crackers for dipping in the delicious broth.
Conclusion:
Mussels with tomatoes, jalapeno and tequila is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The combination of sweet tomatoes, spicy jalapenos, and smoky tequila creates a delicious and unique sauce that perfectly complements the tender mussels. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends, and it's also a great way to enjoy the fresh flavors of summer.
